      Pros

      -opportunity for personal and career growth. An authentic value of 'continuous improvement 'which plays out across all aspects of the org. I've found it really motivating. - annual meet up (Greece, Australia, Portugal). A pretty cool perk! - a truly diverse and inclusive team. A range of perspectives challenging thinking and making for better outcomes. - ability to design your own work day and find time for deep/strategic thinking - never had this before! - 16 weeks parental leave

      Cons

      -No hand holding. Float has a high performing culture. There isn't much 'hand holding' and whilst the leaders are very supportive and offer support when needed, the onus is on team members to structure their work day in a way that's productive. No one will be checking on you every afternoon to see if you've done your work. It's not for everyone and not everyone can be successful working this way. If you haven't worked remotely before, this could be a huge challenge.

      No nonsense remote-first approach, quality product, excellent culture

      Pros

      Float has been one of the best organizations I've worked for in the SaaS space. The org sets clear expectations for roles and doesn't shift the goal posts. Compensation is fair, and everyone on the team acts like an adult. The product delivers on its marketing promises, and is being developed with a clear vision of desired outcome that isn't beholden to a few golden goose clients. Float uses its own product as intended with an internal use case, which hasn't been the case at every tech company I've worked for--I believe this shows a level of self-trust that is important for employers to have. The workplace culture is accommodating of new work norms that come with remote-first family concerns and doesn't penalize employees for stepping away for a bit to deal with children, pets, or ailing relatives.

      Cons

      The biggest downside is also one of the pros, that management has a fairly hands-off approach. Work is very self-directed, with minimal meetings (there are still metrics to be achieved and OKR follow-ups). Employees and contractors need to be self-disciplined to make sure they are keeping up on what is needed without constant supervision, but this can also sometimes create a need for them to be extra proactive in following up with management about questions they have.

      Thanks for this feedback! We appreciate the note about folks being proactive with managers when it comes to getting answers to questions they may have. The nature of async work does require a shift in behaviour when it comes to how we work and you articulated that really well in your feedback (e.g trust, flexibility, self-discipline). Great information for us to continuously improve!

      Pros

      - Remote anywhere - Asynchronous - Great colleagues - Great salary - C Level are the best I've ever worked for - Rewarding work and great management, you feel like you're contributing

      Cons

      - Async can be difficult at first but it's fine after some getting used too, otherwise, no negatives
